Prince Harry is going where other British royals haven't for over a century: to a courtroom witness stand.
FILE - Britain's Prince Harry arrives at the Royal Courts Of Justice in London, Tuesday, March 28, 2023. The Duke of Sussex is scheduled to testify in the High Court after his lawyer presents opening statements Monday, June 5, 2023 in his case alleging phone hacking. Its the first of Harrys several legal cases against the media to go to trial and one of three alleging tabloid publishers unlawfully snooped on him.
If Harry testifies as scheduled Tuesday in his lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mirror, he'll be the first member of the royal family to do so since the late 19th century, when Queen Victoria's eldest son, Prince Albert Edward, testified twice in court. He also cites harassment and intrusion by the British Press and “vicious, persistent attacks” on his wife, Meghan, including racist articles, as the reason the couple left royal life and fled to the U.S. in 2020. Reforming the news media has become one of his life’s missions.
